his civil loyalty at the mercy of another,

For any church to ally herself with forces
of anarchy and disorder certainly is not a
light matter. To many people in England
who, though firmly attached to the Protestant
faith, have sympathized with the Catholics
whenever secular power appeared to press
them hardly, and who have always been
ready to extend to them the fullest measure
of civil equality, the new attitude of the
Catholic church must be painful in the high
est degree. Not chiefly because it aggra-
Yates civil troubles and throws into the scale
OF public decentralization power which ought
above all others to be opposed. but even
more because it dIsappoints the hopes which
might have been formed Of better days to
